Education Programs

A general tour includes a visit to all of our exhibits in the Biology/Ecology Wing, the Conservation Wing, the Rainforest Room, and the Discovery Room, as well as an introduction to our resident education birds, perfect for those who want to see a little bit of everything. A tour lasts approximately one and a half hours (one hour for grades Pre-K–1), and is appropriate for all grade levels.

As an alternative, you may choose from one of the special topic tours from the Group Programs page. Use the grade levels as a general guideline, but keep in mind that many of these special topic tours can be adapted to fit any grade level. All of the special-topic tours are one and a half hours in length. These include a visit to all of our exhibit areas, as well as a brief, hands-on activity or demonstration pertaining to the chosen topic.
